@Uno Seems all good to me. Just realized I forgot to change materials from this morning, I'll go do that.

Outbreaker Black: A Sci-Fi/Fantasy Anime-Inspired Supernatural Agency RP

Sleepless Panda ʕ •`ᴥ•´ʔ

She glowered at him. Zann was a tricky fox. It seemed like most of the time he was only working for Kitagawa-san because out of anyone in the Outbreak Agency she'd have the best reactions to his mischief. Granted, in the same position she would've also done the same thing but since they weren't in the same position they were in conflict. That logic was kind of circular but she didn't care.

^{"I don't need you..."} She muttered, ignoring his hand and pulling herself up to her feet.

She was extra quiet, but maybe he could still hear it with those fox ears of his. She couldn't do anything about that attitude of his, but even though it was her who had no experience with social sparring she doubted anyone could do anything about that attitude of his. She picked up her beanbag and turned back around to face him.

"Change back into a fox!" She shouted. "_{It's cuter that way...}"

I meant the powered grind wheel you were asking about.

I think what I'll probably say it's powered by magic and a little on the expensive side in terms of fuel but still affordable to the general public kind of like how oil is right now, maybe?

I'll admit I'm not focusing on this awfully much. I've got another exam on Thursday.

@Uno @ClocktowerEchos
Ah right, uhhhhh in terms of time I'd probably say fantasy industrial era Japan? I'm not too entirely sure because I didn't have a frame of reference in mind. In terms of magic, it's definitely high fantasy. If you want the grindwheel then I'll allow it.

And yeah, I did forget about using the tree, I was going to say you could because the God was moving soon anyway so it'd be fine.

<Snipped quote by RoflsMazoy>Not sure what you meant here buddy, but I'll attribute that to my mediocre comprehension skills. As for Soul Forge, aside from going into "Forging Mode", I still plan to at least explain most, if not all, of the actions Lee is gonna do while making swords. Its real use is just to allow me explain weird stuff via an unexplained force.

@Uno

It's like how I said this:

The amount of actions in finishing a sword would be something like melting the metals, pouring it out and beginning to hammer, completion of the basic shape and beginning the inlay, etc. Straight up making the sword isn't one smithing action, it's an awful lot of action.

@RoflsMazoy

Except with Soul Forge you could go "Lee blacked out and when he woke up it was done" for that specific section and it'd count as one action

• Posting

  Post limit

  
  When a post limit is issued on a challenge it means that students will have a limited amount of posts in order to complete the forging of a sword in a challenge. Not every challenge will have a post limit but it may be imposed in order to keep posts flowing well. A limit of 2 combined banter or smithing actions are allowed per post before you have to wrap it up.
  
  Banter actions include asking someone for advice, going over to another student's workshop to steal ideas, or something along those lines. Conversations unless collaborated will take their own individual posts. A smithing action is any single action during the smithing process such as smelting the metals, or hammering the sword etc.
• Sword Crafting

  Sword Crafting(NEW!)

  
  In order to create a sword, 10 units of combined material must be used in order to forge the blade. Other metallic parts such as the handle can be included in the 10 unit cost depending. Embellishments such as gold trim or chains and whatnot won't usually even take up one unit of material but still need to be mentioned as taking something.
  
  Creating a scabbard takes 5 units of any particular material which includes its embellishments, depending on how overboard you want to go with the decorations.

Currently listed tech is there, it's also on the first OOC post. They're pretty heavily abridged but it is pretty much all you need to know, I also mentioned a while ago Exploration and Mercantile would come eventually when we got to them.

Kasumi Kotori

@Legion02 @Uno
"It's a good guess, but you aren't quite right." The teacher replied, referring to his question about whether the God was one from Nature. "You would be right about the leaking part, however, she had apparently solved that problem quite some time ago and she just likes to make the tree bloom."

The wind suddenly picked up a little and the tree started rustling a little. Kasumi looked into the air as if she was listening to something.

"She's something like a household God, but unfortunately I can't tell you her name." She continued.

It seems there were more than a few students who didn't have a great idea of what to work with. Unfortunately Kasumi couldn't really give anything except for hints in the vaguest sense, because even the God herself couldn't tell what she wanted. She had watched almost 100 years of swords being forged, but maybe it was because of over-exposure that she was uncertain.

"She only wants a few people to know her name since she's shy, she'll appear to you if you win this challenge. I'm sorry that I can't really say much more than that..."

o.O Seems like a bad time to have been gone.

@KOGaming The main issue here for me, is the two-actions system which is up in the sword forging part of the first IC post and the first OOC post.

I defined that a 'smithing action' was something like melting down the metal which counts as one already. The amount of actions in finishing a sword would be something like melting the metals, pouring it out and beginning to hammer, completion of the basic shape and beginning the inlay, etc. Straight up making the sword isn't one smithing action, it's an awful lot of action.

I made the two-action restriction to give the post restriction a meaning, and I made the post restriction to give challenge a meaning. Even though I'm pretty sure it wasn't your intention to undermine it, some edits will have to be made, sorry for this >.<

@Uno
With that elaboration on the two-step thing, I'll just say while I'm here that Soul Forge would probably mostly just cause the main hammering and harder inlay work and whatnot a single step instead of a few.

@Lady Athena
Your transmutation will essentially be cutting down the whole crafting process into two steps but as mentioned above, you'll need to indicate some measure of effort has been used or else it'll just feel like it's invalidating a lot of other peoples' work.

@TheWindel
I meant the monsters would be rekt, everybody's got some hot swords in their workshops. Who wouldn't be rekt?

---

For everybody else, a statement on time, which should be somewhat of a given?:
[risque statement was here, currently being reevaluated]

The 8 posts also don't have to equate to an exact week. The 8 posts is for putting a limit on when you should get all the important stuff done, kind of thing. It'll probably take over the cours of 2 or three days maximum, maybe. If you manage to get it all done then we just skip past the rest of the days until the presentation.

---

I'd also like some confirmation on the materials list changes; @Lonewolf685 Nika returned 5 Mithril and took 5 Bronze, and @ClocktowerEchos Karthis has taken 8 Bronze, 1 Steel, 2 Gold, 1 Mithril and 5 Copper.

Anyone take anything else?

In other news, I'm going to have to go to sleep right about now, I'll be back on after my exams. I'll be missing for the next 14 hours if I'm not mistaken, just so you all know.

@ClocktowerEchos
It just feels a lot like he wouldn't be forging swords, going off of his history alone. I get a feel of like a sort of Victorian era darker mystery, if you know what I mean? I don't really mean anything by it, I just wanted to comment.
